  • Live Among the White Trash: a History of Nono----Manman on Stage
    Live Among the White Trash: A history of nono----manman on stage “There are no No-Man concerts scheduled for the foreseeable future.” (from the official no-man website) Anyone who has followed no-man’s career over the previous ten years or so will be acutely aware that the band does not play live. If no-man “exist” as a band at all – and their infrequent releases mean they are more an ongoing understanding between two men rather than an active unit – it is only in the studio. Over a series of uncompromising albums no-man’s music has become ever more complex, yet ironically, “live sounding” than the release which proceeded it. But this organic “liveness” is mainly an illusion; the feeling of spontaneity often the result of numerous edits and takes which only the precision of studio work can produce. Others have tried to perform equally difficult music live: Radiohead ambitiously thrusting their clicks-and- cuts post-rock upon the world’s stadiums, for example. But for a variety of reasons, no-man simply haven’t tried – at least, not since 1994 and not until a one-off performance in 2006. The only comparable case is Talk Talk’s retreat into the studio in the late 1980s. Both bands have undoubtedly crafted their best work without going near an audience. 1 But it wasn’t always so. no-man were once very much a live act, promoting singles and albums with dates and undertaking two full-blown tours – though they rarely played outside London, never went further north than Newcastle, and never played outside Great Britain.

Frink, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Ornette Coleman (1930-2015) is frequently referred to as not only a great visionary in jazz music but as also the father of the jazz avant-garde movement. As such, his work has been a topic of discussion for nearly five decades among jazz theorists, musicians, scholars and aficionados. While this music was once controversial and divisive, it eventually found a wealth of supporters within the artistic community and has been incorporated into the jazz narrative and canon. Coleman’s musical practices found their greatest acceptance among the following generations of improvisers who embraced the message of “free jazz” as a natural evolution in style.

  • Livereview: Whitesnake - Kharma 16
    Livereview: Whitesnake - Kharma 16. November 2008, Zürich - Schützenhaus Albisgüetli By Rockslave Es gab nicht wenige Leute, die ob dem neuen Studio-Album «Good To Be Bad» ziemlich baff waren, respektive der weissen Schlange so ein Comeback kaum zugetraut hätten. Doch 2008, dem mit Abstand besten Jahr in Sachen Rock und Metal seit Langem, passt es einfach wie die Faust aufs Auge, dass auch Whitesnake hier mit von der Partie sind. Der geneigte Fan wurde live wie auch von der Tonträgerseite her regelrecht verwöhnt und es bleibt zu hoffen, dass dieser Zustand noch möglichst lange anhalten wird. Coverdale & Co. waren das letzte Mal im Juni 2006 im Zürcher Volkshaus zu Gast und lieferten dort einen starken Auftritt ab, der unter anderem von der idealen Location profitieren konnte. Dieses Detail war heute Abend auch im Fokus, denn das schmuck und weihnächtlich beleuchtete Schützenhaus machte in der Vergangenheit eher Schlagzeilen in Zusammen- hang mit Ex-Bundesrat Christoph Blocher denn als Austragungsort für (Rock-) Konzerte. Man durfte also ge- spannt sein! Kharma Den Ost-Schweizer Rock-Fünfer sah ich dieses Jahr nach Huttwil und Lenzburg nun bereits zum dritten Mal! Während der Auftritt am «Rock- sound Festival» ganz ordentlich geriet, harzte es in Lenzburg etwas, vorab wegen der Technik. Das schien hier in Zürich zum Glück kein Thema zu sein. So eröffneten Kharma den Konzertabend vor einer be- reits stattlichen Anzahl Fans, was mitunter auch zu einem Teil an den kalten Aussentemperaturen gelegen haben dürfte. Sei's drum..., auf je- den Fall umso besser für den heutigen Support, der kraftvoll loslegte und das Publikum schon bald auf seine Seite ziehen konnte.

V Olomouci dne 3.5.2015 Ilona Šoukalová Děkuji vedoucímu mé diplomové práce panu Mgr. Jiřímu Flajšarovi, Ph.D. za odborné vedení práce, poskytování rad a materiálových podkladů k práci.

Děkuji také své rodině a kamarádům za veškerou podporu v době mého studia. Abstract The diploma thesis deals with the emergence of Canadian popular music and the development of music genres that enjoyed the greatest popularity in Canada. A significant part of the thesis is devoted to an investigation of conditions connected to the relation of Canadian music and Canadian sense of identity and uniqueness. Further, an account of Canadian radio broadcasting and induction of regulating acts which influenced music production in Canada in the second half of the twentieth century are given. Moreover, the effectiveness and contributions of these regulating acts are summarized and evaluated. Last but not least, the main characteristics of the music style of a female singer songwriter Joni Mitchell are examined.
